Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 4, 2018 Page 10 City Manager Trudgeon noted the Council received an email in support of this or- dinance via email. Mayor Roe concurred a lot of construction shifts go from 7:00-3:00 pm. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. Nays: None. h. Consider Proposed Text Amendments to Section 402.31,403.02 and 403.12 Building Official Englund briefly reviewed this request, recommending approval as detailed in the RCA dated June 4, 2018. In the 2015 cycle of the Neighbor- hood Enhancement Program, residents raised concerns related to the code provi- sion requiring containers to be placed out of view. With the beginning of the 2018 inspections, staff is proposing a text amendment to allow for options to residents where placement out of public view may be difficult Councilmember McGehee expressed support for this amendment, since so many containers are of such a large size that they are difficult to store in garages. Councilmember Etten also expressed support for the amendment, though he pre- ferred Mayor Roe's amended language included in a bench handout. Mayor Roe pointed out that his amended language in the bench handout was an attempt to clarify the amendment language for the sake of readability and under- standing. He noted his suggestion that containers stored outside should have the lid closed. Mayor Roe noted he did receive one email from a resident in opposition to the or- dinance change. Councilmember Willmus expressed support for the text amendment. As long as the containers are behind the front line of the house, it makes sense to him. Mayor Roe suggested the language on recycling containers on Attachment B be simplified to mirror what is said about garbage containers, i.e., they must be out of view. Councilmember Etten pointed out the partial list of definitions, which includes a reference to curbs. Building Official Englund noted that is language that is currently in the code, and it was simply brought in from definitions in Section 402.
